It is crucial to recognise that children and young people are victims of domestic abuse in their own right. We help children and young people to make sense of their experiences and move through crisis into healing through safe, supportive interventions which include both 1:1 and group support. Activities include play therapy, adolescent child-to-parent abuse, gender specific groups, mentoring.
We support up to 40 women with children in refuges across Gwent. Family refuges include playrooms, outdoor play areas & private spaces for teenagers.
Mentoring offers opportunities for children and young people to channel their energy into positive activities and projects. Mentors are matched with children based on their interests, skills and personalities.
Our Horizon sexual abuse counselling service is available to anyone over the age of 9 who has experienced any kind of sexual violence at any time in their lives.
We offer gender-specific groups for girls, boys and non-binary young people aged 11 to 15 who have experienced or witnessed domestic abuse.
We offer groupwork for children aged 7-11 and their non-abusive caregiver, aimed at improving communication after domestic violence has ended.
The Break4Change programme supports families to make positive changes – suitable for young people aged 11-16, along with their parents/carers.

Sat here crying – my youngest son has been cooking, he is in his element cooking away! We have been outside for at least 3 hours – talking, laughing, just having precious family time. I can’t thank you enough. It’s just truly amazing.
